Wii Sports Resort Sales Pass 500,000 In Japan

Nintendo’s Wii Sports Resort is ensuring that Wii MotionPlus penetration is off to a good start in Japan, with the Wii sequel moving another 150,000 copies in its second week on the market.

That puts the Wii Sports sequel at more than a half million copies sold, according to Media Create, a feat sure to be made less impressive next week when Dragon Quest IX for the Nintendo DS lands in Japan. Debuting strongly beneath Wii Sports Resort is Sega’s Hatsune Miku: Project Diva for the PSP, which outsells the recently released Mii-focused DS game Tomodachi Collection.

The only other new debut was EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis, capitalizing on Wii MotionPlus fever.
